Hi! I'm new to Sittercity, but not to childcare. I'm a warm, responsible, and fun caregiver with 3 years of experience working with toddlers, children, tweens, and teens. I’ve provided care for families privately as well as through KiddieCorp. I’m German-English bilingual and hold a Master’s degree. Currently, I work part-time as a foreign language instructor and a test developer, and I’ll be starting graduate studies in clinical psychology this fall at Pepperdine University. I genuinely love being a sitter because time with children is time well spent. I enjoy supporting their emotional and developmental growth in meaningful ways. I know how important it is for parents to feel at ease when they’re away, and I’m proud to offer parents peace of mind. My childcare background includes not just babysitting, but also K–12 substitute teaching. I am also a storytime volunteer at the Los Angeles Ronald McDonald House. These experiences have helped me respond with patience, insight, and calm in high-stress or emotional moments—while still keeping things fun, silly, and creative when the time is right! Whether we’re reading books, doing crafts, playing games (I love games!), or simply talking about a child’s day, I focus on being present (which includes being *phone free*), kind, and age-appropriate in everything I do. I’m dependable, respectful of family routines, and happy to help with light household tasks or homework help when needed. I am certified in First Aid and CPR.

Hey Kids! I have a knack for transforming into your favorite animals, arranging and putting on performances together for your parents, sketching characters we imagine together, or drawing mazes for you to solve. It helps that I've studied fine arts and acting most of my life! I love exploring outside, climbing trees and jungle gyms. I love racing, chasing, and playing tag until our bellies hurt from laughing and we're so worn out that we fall asleep without even trying. My mom signed me up for years of ballet growing up, and I even performed with the Washington Ballet in Nutcracker and other shows, but I discovered I'm more passionate about martial arts and eventually I became an expert in stage combat. Some kids I've worked with had special needs like language delay, Williams Syndrome, Down's, autism, or physical limitations. We had fun designing games together just for them! I think it's really important to treat you with respect and care as an individual. I'm an expert at having lots of fun while keeping you healthy and safe.

Hi, my name is Mia Staten. I have worked with children from infant to teenage years as a nanny, teacher, coach and more. I have plenty of experience with infants/toddlers and working with parents as their child reaches their new stages of development, having my BA in Child and Adolescents development helps me navigate. I was very interested in this position and know that I am fully qualified.I am a warm, kind, loving, organized, flexible, proactive,high energy, a multitasker and problem solver, discreet, honest, possess strong communication skills, with a positive attitude and personality. I have an intuitive understanding of children, are aware of developmental milestones and are active, fun and great communicators. I have a knack for engaging with curious, intelligent children. Learning about your children and family is major for me and building a community around the child. I enjoy building games, and learning experiences based on the interest of the children and look forward to learning your children's likes and personality. My goal is to meet your children where they are and help them grow in all areas to reach their developmental goals as well as have fun. I have multiple references of families that I have worked with including the most recent family I worked with the last few years.

Hi! I’m Melissa, a USC graduate based in Santa Monica with a lifelong love for working with kids and supporting families. Before starting my career in the media and entertainment industry, I spent several years working closely with children as a tutor, mentor, after-school program leader, and summer camp counselor. One of my most meaningful experiences was running an enrichment program for a local elementary school during college. Those early experiences shaped my values and continue to guide me today. Recently, I stepped away from full-time work in media to focus on more community-centered opportunities and reconnect with the kind of work that has always brought me the most joy—supporting kids as they grow, learn, and thrive. I also come from a big family and helped care for my younger brothers growing up, including one with an intellectual disability. I bring a nurturing, creative, and responsible approach to every family I work with. Whether your child needs tutoring, enrichment, or simply a warm and dependable presence, I’d love to support your family. Looking forward to connecting, Melissa

Hi! I'm a certified early education teacher and I love children! I've been with sittercity for 15 years, and I would love to partner with you and your family.

I have my fingerprints, first aid, CPR, background check, and more! I look forward to meeting with you soon! Miss Lisa

I have 4 kids but now they are all teenagers. I love kids I wish I had more. ☺️ So since I’ve and have the patience for them I would love to work doing something I enjoy. I also love teaching I wanted to be a teacher one day. I consider myself easy going and fun. I treat kids as if they were my own because they are our future. Love and happiness is what we need in this world.

I can be the best nanny/babysitter for these reasons. I little about me: I am 25 years old, currenly employed with Los Angeles Unified School District(LAUSD) as a Behavior Intervention Implementation (BII)/1-1 for special needs students, I enojoy working out, and best of all I enjoy spending time with friends and family. In my history of working with children I have became very patient, caring, understanding, and how to keep calm. I have been working for LAUSD for about 3 years now and I worked as an After School program leader for Celerity Educational Group for 2 years. I also have two years of child care volunteered experience in a preschool at John A Rowland High School for which I received a Certificate of Completion. I am going to school for Kinesiology to be an Adaptive PE Teacher for special needs students so I am capable of teaching physical exercises to children and I make it enjoyable working out (talking from experience). I believe it’s important to implement this to our kids. Also just as an FYI I have been social distancing and wearing a face mask. I am a very easy going person and have flexibility in my schedule. If you are interested in my services I will do a background check.
